Overview

Now begins the final battle of the Prophts and the Pah-wraiths within the nightmarish realm of nonlinear time—as the greatest epic adventure in the saga of Deep Space 9 reaches its staggering conclusion...

As predicted in ancient Bajoran texts, the Celestial Temple has been restored, ending normal space-time existence for all except Captain Menjamin Sisko and those trapped on the Starship Defiant and the Klingon warship Boreth. But as apocalyptic war rages between the Prophets and the Pah-wraiths, one last chance for survival beckons—a return to Deep Space 9.

Yet, in the realm of nonlinear time, it appears that there are two possible times at which Sisko and his allies can return to the station: on the day of the Cardassian Withdrawal, or on the day six years later when DS9 was destroyed. But which choice will lead to the triumph of the Prophets? And which to eternal victory for the Pah-wraiths? With time literally running out and the fate of the universe in his hands, Sisko now must confront his own personal inferno—in order to change the past and restore the present, he must be ready to make the ultimate sacrifice...his future...

Editorial Reviews

KLIATT

This is the first volume in the exciting three-volume Millennium series. In this installment, Captain Sisko discovers that Quark is holding an auction of an artifact that may be one of three mysterious lost orbs of the Prophets. As a result, several notorious smugglers and some Cardassians arrive on Deep Space Nine. When one of the smugglers is killed, Quark is the prime suspect. Eventually Sisko uncovers all three orbs and accidentally opens a worm hole on Deep Space Nine that tears the station apart and catapults Sisko and his command staff in the Defiant 25 years into the future. The plot thickens when they find that they emerge in the midst of a battle in The War of the Prophets. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Millennium, Book 1) KLIATT Codes: JSA—Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2000, Pocket Books, 409p, 18cm, $6.50.

Fall of Terok Nor

The Fall of Terok Nor is one of the best books i ever read. It will leave you in suspense but give you the thrill of your life. It gives us the missing pieces of the puzzels that were never told before, about the Day of Withdrawl.

Nice way to conclude

This is a nice idea to end the epic, but it has so much technobabble in it it becomes hard to read at times. You must read the first two before this one. Overall, I liked the concept, and it was a good change of pace for the series itself, considering Sisko isn't human anymore. Check this book out, and buy the trilogy.

Must read for all DS9 fans

It was nice to see that even though the series has ended the crew lives on. This book will keep you turning pages long into the early morning! The ending wrapped up sort of fast but it leads in to book two very well. You can't go wrong with Sisko and crew.

Kai Weyoun Welocmes You To The New Millennium

Book one was an enjoyable read, if a bit misleading from the title. Not much was actually centered on the Fall of Terok Nor. Missing, most regretably was the station commander Gul Dukat for most if not all of the first book. Books two and three were markedly better and I found Weyoun, Dukat, and Garak speaking.

Best DS9 Ever?

This is by far the best Deep Space Nine novel I have ever read. Impossible to put down, it will have you reaching for the second installment as soon as possible. True to the characters and an innovative plot line that allows the authors to explore fascinating new avenues within this alternate timeline.

Intelligent and Well Written

A thoroughly enjoyable book that is a little slow starting, but once it gets going has all the steam of Kahless slicing through his adversaries. Ties nicely into existing STDS9 culture and plays on strengths and weakness of all characters. Nice to revisit some of the old fire from later DS9 adventures. Also leaves you asking when will there be a movie this good?

A great read!!

This was just a great book!!! It will hold you from cover to cover and be ready to grab the second book even if it's 3 am in the morning and you have to be at work at 5. The character are so real you can hear them talking in your head and see them carry out their actions right before you. I'd recommend it to anyone who is a DS9 or Star Trek fan.

Excellent Foundation for an Excellent Series!

Although this book started out a little slow, it really set an excellent foundation for the whole 'Millennium' series. The book was extremely exciting and very difficult to put down! Once you finish this book, you won't be able to wait to start reading the next one! It was very interesting and the authors did an excellent job! The story is also very creative and gives 'Star Trek' a very good name!

I love it, but why'd you do that to poor Tom?

I loved this book, the second in the series. I couldn't put it down, and I can't wait to read the last one. Everything was MUCH better than satisfactory. My only complaint is what happened to the character Tom Riker. Why is it that Tom always gets the short end of the stick? Couldn't someone let him get a great deal--just once? The War of the Prophets series gives an interesting look into a nonreligious view of the Prophets of Bajor. Are they a help or a hindrance to the Bajoran people? Do they blind the Bajoran people and keep them from progress? I'm looking forward to the final battle between the Pah-wraiths and what Kai Weyoun calls the False Prophets, the Prophets Kira Nerys believes are gods.
